Foreword

m 

This  compilation  is  the  result  of  a sincere 
desire  to  render  a public  service. 

It  has  been  published  for  the  purpose  of 
affording  an  easy  way  through  the  maze  of 
regulations  embodied  in  the  ordinances  passed 
by  the  City  Council  of  the  City  of  Chicago 
during  the  past  eight  years. 

It  is  not  an  index  to  all  City  ordinances. 
For  those  regulations  contained  in  the  sec- 
tions of  The  Chicago  Code  of  1911  which  have 
not  been  amended  or  repealed,  reference  must 
be  had  to  the  index  printed  in  the  bound 
volumes  of  that  Code. 

If  the  indexes  and  tables  herewith  pre- 
sented result  in  a saving  of  time  to  those  who 
must  seek  information  concerning  the  ordi- 
nance regulations  of  the  City  of  Chicago,  I 
shall  feel  that  the  work  has  been  worth  the 
effort. 

James  T.  Igoe, 

City  Clerk.
